What YogaLiving is and does
A
spiritual community
YogaLiving is a quiet yet profound and vibrant spiritual community dedicated to the teaching and practice of Atma Vichara.
The community is made up of like minded people living and working ordinarily in the world and pursuing this spiritual advaita path.
The community is non residential and supports its members through contact, satsang and teaching.
Membership
Membership of the community offers the guidance and support that enables people to pursue direct spiritual encounter whilst remaining fully engaged in practical life.
Living and working in the world
People have social obligations and practical commitments but still want to progress deep and authentic spiritual practice. Enabling this through the methods described below, frees people from the notion that worldly events should be resisted. The fabric of the ordinary day; family life, working life, social life and relationship are the field within which practice is encountered. As a spiritual community YogaLiving is not based on a building or a place; belonging is not dependent on running away, sacrifice or a protected lifestyle.
